Pancreas01:19

Pancreas

2.4K
The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...

Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas

5.3K
The pancreas, a vital organ within the abdominal cavity, plays dual roles in the digestive and endocrine systems, collaborating with exocrine and endocrine cells to maintain optimal digestion and blood sugar levels.
Exocrine function is carried out by acinar cells, organized into clusters known as acini. These cells contribute to digestion by releasing substantial quantities of enzyme-rich, alkaline digestive juices.
Concurrently, the dispersed clusters of endocrine cells throughout the...

Accessory Organs01:31

Accessory Organs

74.3K
Accessory organs are those that participate in the digestion of food but do not come into direct contact with it like the mouth, stomach, or intestine do. Accessory organs secrete enzymes into the digestive tract to facilitate the breakdown of food.

Hormonal Regulation01:40

Hormonal Regulation

48.2K
Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.

Embryonic Stem Cells00:58

Embryonic Stem Cells

32.5K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Cell Specific Gene Expression01:58

Cell Specific Gene Expression

16.6K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Angiography is rarely needed for diagnosing pancreatic lesions when ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) are available. This review covers pancreatic venography and venous sampling for hormone testing.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Angiography plays a role in diagnosing pancreatic lesions.
    • The utility of angiography is often superseded by other imaging modalities.
    • Pancreatic venography and venous sampling are specialized techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review angiographic findings in benign and malignant pancreatic lesions.
    • To define the indications for angiography in pancreatic diagnostics.
    • To discuss pancreatic venography and venous sampling.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of angiographic findings in pancreatic lesions.
    • Analysis of diagnostic indications for angiography versus US and CT.
    • Discussion of techniques, indications, and results of pancreatic venography and venous sampling.

    Main Results:

    • Angiography has a limited role in diagnosing pancreatic lesions when US and CT are available.
    • Guidelines for the appropriate use of angiography are provided.
    • Pancreatic venography and venous sampling techniques, indications, and results are detailed.

    Conclusions:

    • Angiography is not a primary diagnostic tool for pancreatic lesions given modern imaging alternatives.
    • Specific indications exist for angiography, particularly for venous sampling.
    • Further understanding of pancreatic venography and venous sampling is crucial for select cases.
